How To Stop Gambling Tip #5 Eat Well and Exercise
How To Stop Gambling Tip #5
This is the continuation in my series of tips on how to stop gambling. Just to review, here
are the first five tips on how to stop gambling:
1. Decide that you want to stop gambling after admitting that you do indeed have a gambling
problem and that it has disrupted your life.
2. Each day you wake up, make a decision on that given day that you will not gamble, since
you already made a decision to quit gambling.
3. Plan your day around your decision to stopping gambling. Make sure that you plan your
schedule in 15 minute increments as this really does help.
4. Join a support group such as Gamblers Anonymous to help you on your mission to continue to
quit gambling.
Tip #5, as one of your solutions to stop gambling is as follows:
Embark in a good health and nutrition program in addition to a good exercise plan. Commit to
good eating and exercise daily as this will not only help your physical health,but will
improve your mood as well.
When we eat nutritious foods and exercise, we are showing ourselves that we care about our
health. When we care about our health we will be more apt to do things that are good for us
and not destructive and harmful.
When you quit gambling it may be hard to suddenly jump into a really strong nutrition and
exercise plan.
My suggestion to you is to make small changes in your eating and exercise behavior on a daily
basis. For example, add a salad to your lunch and try to eliminate the fast foods you were
consuming daily.
You can even try to add a daily walk to your routine.. even if it is only 5 minutes. You can
then increase this over time.
When you stop gambling, replacing unhealthy behaviors of eating and lack of exercise will
provide a great benefit to you.
After you quit gambling, you will see that better eating and an exercise plan will contribute
positively to your health.
As stated previously, as you do good things for yourself, you will be less apt to do harmful
and destructive things like gambling.
This will most certainly help keep you focuses on your decision to change your life by stop
gambling.
